HYDERABAD: Launching his Southern election campaign from here, Narendra Modi today appealed to all non- Congress parties to come together to dislodge the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre and to end "dynastic" rule.

In a bid to woo fresh allies, the Gujarat Chief Minister, who is the BJP's national election campaign chief, made a specific appeal to Telugu Desam(TDP), which has inherited the legacy of late N T Rama Rao, a former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, saying it was its duty to see that the government at the Centre be made Congress-free.

"Congress party is a burden on this nation. Today I want to remember NTR when I come here. NTR did service not only to Andhra but the whole of India when he gave boost to anti- Congress politics. It was NTR's efforts that paved the way for formation of a non-Congress government at the Centre.

"I appeal to all political parties in Andhra Pradesh here, what can be a supreme tribute to NTR than providing a non-Congress government," said Modi while addressing a huge gathering at the Lal Bahadur stadium here organised by BJP.

"All those who claim NTR's legacy, their first duty is to do everything to bring a non-Congress government. It should be their duty to do everything in this regard. I am confident that Andhra Pradesh's political parties will not leave any stone unturned to bring a non-Congress government and end this dynastic rule," he said.

Addressing TDP specifically, a party which has inherited NTR's legacy, Modi said, "It is their duty also to fulfill NTR's dreams."

TDP, headed by N Chandrababu Naidu, is a former constituent of BJP-led NDA and supported the Vajpayee government from 1998 to 2004. The TDP severed its alliance with BJP after the 2004 election defeat.
